About this property

The Island Collection MV: Enjoy This 1850s Victorian Home With Ocean Views!

Enjoy a relaxing ferry ride to Oak Bluffs and its picturesque surroundings. Once your ferry ride ends, you’re steps away from home! This newly renovated, elegant, enchanting, and historical bright yellow Victorian home was built in the 1850s. Speaking of ocean views….enjoy the benefits of having an ocean view right in your front yard! Located on Ocean Avenue you can see the entire ocean from this lovely home, which has 7 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms and comfortably sleeps 14 people. There is one parking space available on the street, a gas grill on the back patio, and an outdoor shower for your convenience.

As you enter the home, you will be amazed at the beauty of the fireplace. On the first floor, enjoy an ocean view room with a fireplace. There is also one large bedroom with one queen bed and one twin bed. On the second floor, enjoy a beautiful and cozy ocean view room with a telescope. There are also five bedrooms with a queen bed in each; and one bedroom with two twin beds. There are four full bathrooms located throughout the home for your convenience.

This beautiful home has all new appointments such as: a new kitchen, new granite counter tops, new showers, new mattresses for all beds, all new furniture with an entirely furnished home, new air conditioners, and the home is freshly painted.

Indulge in a wonderful meal with your family in the formal blue and white dining room, which the owners lovingly refer to as “The Great Wall of China!” Relax and enjoy the spacious family room, living room, and formal dining room which all comfortably seat 14 people.

Conveniently located steps away from the ferry, this home is only 100 feet away from the beach. As the home is located in town, you are close to quaint downtown shopping, night life, restaurants, churches, parks, hiking and bike paths and trails, deep sea fishing, car, bike and motor cycle rentals. Enjoy a tour around the island by way of public transportation (the bus stop), or taxi.

From your front porch, look at the beautiful ocean view, which includes a park and gazebo where you will see people getting married and feel their job of beginning their lives as one. Listen to various genres of music in the park performed by local and national bands. Watch fireworks from the lower and upper decks of the home.

Witness the uplifting joy of experiencing people fly kites or indulge in this activity for your own pleasure.

This house is featured on many postcards, calendars, and other media. It is very well known throughout Oak Bluffs! Even the new 2015 Martha's Vineyard calendar features this premier home inside for the month of October.

As you can see, there is no need for a car…you’re in Oak Bluffs, where the action is only a short walk away! After a long day at the beach, shopping, dining, and fun, you’re steps away from home! We look forward to seeing you!

Book if it is available
What a great rental. The location was perfect. The house is beautiful and more spacious than the pictures show. Plenty of room for everyone to stay comfortably. A great front yard and backyard area. The block is safe for kids to run around back and forth without worrying about cars. The neighbors are friendly and welcoming. It is close to everything. Owner and property manager were both very attentive and helpful. We were lucky that this property was available when we booked. If you see that it is available, don't hesitate! Book it immediately!!

Beautiful Property!
The home is well-maintained, with a darling garden out front and beautiful interior decorations. It is well equipped with kitchen, beach, and cleaning items. I especially have to mention the incredibly comfortable mattresses in each room. The home design is fluid and each room has its own private space unconnected. This gave our whole family space - with two great living room area options for gatherings. The home owner Jolanta is kind, quickly responsive, and a pleasure to work with. We had an amazing stay! Big thank you from the Quilter family.

Best Location
The location cannot be beat. Ocean view, park out front, nice sidewalk with good people watching from the farmers porch. The house has a ton of character and the kids loved exploring it. Has everything you need and is comfortable. We had a blast! The only complaint is that for the amount we paid, linens should be there. We rented them, which worked fine and was pretty cheap. However, it stinks to go on vacation and have putting sheets on all the beds be the first thing you do when you get there. For 2k/night, the owners can certainly afford linen service for guests so we don't have to make our own beds when we get there.

Perfect location; charming house
This was the perfect location for any group visiting the Vineyard. Steps away from the Oak Bluffs Ferry -- roll your suitcase half block down the street, ocean views from huge wrap-around front porch, beach less than half mile, restaurants and shops less than half mile around the corner, island bus stop across the street. House is spacious but cozy and immaculately clean. Kitchen was spacious and stocked with dishes, cookware, and had large fridge. There were seven of us, and we each had our own bed and bedroom, and there were two extra beds. Only caveat I would say is that two upstairs bedrooms, and one of the bathrooms, may be challenging for taller people, i.e., someone 5' 10" and above, as house was built in 19th century and ceilings in those two upstairs rooms and bathroom are low by modern standards. But we were only in bedrooms upstairs to sleep, and downstairs was spacious, so it worked out for us. Jolanta, our host, was wonderful! We would definitely return here!
